Quality Endorsement

The NEAS Quality Assurance (QA) Framework has been developed through extensive consultation with the English language teaching (ELT) profession in Australia and overseas, industry bodies and government. Review is undertaken in response to changes and developments in the field, with change implemented only after wide consultation.

The NEAS QA Framework concerns itself with the professional standards required by the range of occupations associated with English language teaching provision, in order to protect the interests of consumers of the goods and services provided by the English language teaching industry in Australia. This includes the vocational fields associated with teaching, instructional design and academic leadership.

The purpose of the NEAS QA Framework is to:

Establish and uphold high standards within the ELT industry

Support ELT Centres in demonstrating quality in their programs and services

Provide guidance to ELT Centres in their continuous improvement processes

Promote recognition of quality ELT Centres

The NEAS QA Framework comprises nine Quality Areas
